I am so thankfully for the florist I found for our wedding. Lara at LZ Floral Design, that I found at the Bridal Extravaganza that I went to last year.
Lara is so very sweet and definitely the perfect match for our Wedding, she heard my vision for what I wanted for the bouquets and all and created exactly what I wanted. Lara was so very reliable and I am complete trust in her, what I great feeling for a Bride planning her wedding. I would recommend LZ Floral Design to anyone that has a wedding coming up or even if you have some kind of event and need some beautiful flowers for your event.
Here are some pictures of her work:








Check out Lara's site and tell her I sent you! :)
For those of you who have kept up with my rambling posts, know the story about Rod and I's hunt for a Groom's Cake. Through all of the hunting, my sweet bridesmaid Jenna, found us Virginia's Cakes, might I add, that Jenna lives in Nebraska. Jenna emailed me after all my ranting about "Insured and Bonded" and said she wanted to do some Bridesmaid duties and help me find someone. I am SO thankful she did. :) She found us such a great match. Virginia's Cakes indeed are amazing. We asked Virginia to make Rod an iPhone Groom's cake, but not just an Iphone groom's cake, but a groom's cake with Funfetti. :)

Isn't that awesome?
Virginia made such a great cake. Took all the special requests for the icons {including a facebook icon and Eleven2.com at the top of the cake}, everything was exactly as requested.

Do check out Virginia's website: http://www.virginiascakes.com be sure to tell her that Lauren sent you!
{A quick side note, My wedding photographers found ME, through GET MARRIED. See my post "Thank you Get Married" at Team Giles}
I absolutely love our photographers.

I am super excited about our guest book we just ordered for the wedding!! It's a photo-book, created for guests to write their name and even a little message if they want. WOO HOO! I can't wait to get this baby in my hands, it's super cute.
I created it today using iPhoto from the Mac.
The countdown continues, we're now down to week 7!

The lovely Ms. Jenna (Bridesmaid) gave me this adorable “Bride’s Bag” filled with all kinds of goodies for the BIG DAY! Safety Pins, Tide Stick, to Deodorant and more. YEAA!! Thank you Jenna!! The count down continues!!!!
It's super chilly outside. We're in the 30's! That's so rare here in Houston, Texas.
But it definitely makes it feel more Christmas-y out. :)
Can you imagine if it was this cold on February 21st when Rodney and I get married? That would be nuts.
So for now, I leave you with some pretty Winter Wedding pictures:

The Wedding Invitations have been ordered! YEA!!! Little did I know, that most vendors suggest that you order the invitations 2-3 months before the wedding... I'm only 2 months and 16 days away, so we're good right? Right. With a little screaming, kicking and begging, the vendor just gave me a nice little smile, and they should be here within 3-5 business days.
Cheers everybody! YEA!

I'm a city girl living in Houston, Texas, with a taste for Fashion, a love for Party Planning and Decorating. I don't sew, I glue. I'm always on a hunt for a deal and Oh'Boy do I love to blog about my amazing finds!
I share the stories of my wedding planning adventures, and just how random and crazy life can be. I try to keep daily life orderly with lists and a calendar... But some how they tend to get tossed, at least I recycle. And last but not least, I definitely love to share how sweet my Fiancé is to me. Um, I said "I" nine times… ok technically ten!. :)
